Safeguarding

Our Trust is committed to Safeguarding and Promoting the Welfare of all of its learners and everyone working in or for our school shares an objective to help keep children and young people safe by:

providing a safe environment for children and young people to learn and develop in our school setting, and

identifying children and young people who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm, and taking appropriate action with the aim of making sure they are kept safe both at home and in our school setting

To meet our commitment we have a whole school safeguarding policy and additional advice leaflets for both learners and adults.

These policies provide clear direction to staff and others about expected codes of behaviour in dealing with safeguarding issues. The policies also aim to make explicit the Trust's commitment to the development of good practice and sound procedures.

The purpose of the policies is, therefore, to ensure that Safeguarding concerns and referrals are handled sensitively, professionally and in ways that support the needs of the child's wellbeing.

Safeguarding Advice leaflets

We have put together leaflets for adults, advising on how we can all do the utmost to keep Learners safe. Copies of this leaflet are available from our Reception and are issued to every visitor to our school.

Safeguarding training for Staff

Every member of staff at our school receives mandatory Safeguarding training as part of their induction when they join us, a yearly refresher as well as Safeguarding briefing notes throughout the year. Around school we also display information for Staff to remind them of our ongoing commitments and the routes to report any issues.
